Eight lessons
1. Be an unflinching deep lawyer first and foremost, uphold the law, and be solution-driven.

2. The variety, experience and growth the legal profession provides are limitless if you avail yourself.
3. In legal practice, and the justice system beyond, every person, in every role plays their own key function - without which, things just wouldn’t work the same way.
4. True humanity is often embodied in the subtlety of being able to set someone at ease no matter their station or situation in life.
5. It is a given that there will be triumphs and failures but they will both pass.
6. Always strive to make the new day that follows count.
7. Above all, if you remain true to yourself, stay curious, keep learning, plan ahead, stay positive, cut out the noise, and work hard, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
